Arkansas is having quite the little start to summer.  Yesterday we told you that a pair of football players were involved in some weekend thievery (one was arrested) and that former basketball player Patrick Beverly had claimed someone was writing papers for him during his playing days.

Now current basketball player Marcus Britt has been suspended from the team after he was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated on Saturday.

“He is a representative of the University of Arkansas and our basketball program, and needless to say, we are disappointed.  He is still part of our team, but the expectations of being a Razorback include meeting high standards on the court and off the courts.

Britt will be a junior next season.  In addition to the DWI charge, he was also hit with charges of driving with a suspended license, having no insurance, running a stop sign, and failure to appear in court for a previous speeding ticket (which led to the suspension of his license).
